"My heart was racing. "Eddie, are you asking me on a date?" He hid behind his hair a bit. "So what if I was?" He looked down at his feet. I smiled and put out the rest of my cigarette."

Moving into the small town of Hawkins during her sophomore year of high school wasn't a treat, but she didn't let it ruin her spirits too much. In fact, she even made some new friends along the way. Granted, most of them were in middle school and were major nerds, but that didn't bother her. She even joined in on some of their DnD campaigns whenever they invited her. It was fun, that was until one of the kids, Will, went missing. Along the way to finding him, (Y/N) befriends some people from her own school, including the goody-two-shoes Nancy Wheeler, and her boyfriend, Steve "The Hair" Harrington. She never really understood why everyone was obsessed with Steve. Or was everyone obsessed with his hair? She never knew. He could be a real asshole sometimes, too. But for whatever reason, she finds herself becoming closer with him the more they hang out. Maybe the king himself wasn't all too bad. - I've rewritten this book as I didn't like the plot all too much! You can find it on my profile titled "Waiting For A Girl Like You". This book is a slow-burn and will be going through the episodes of Stranger Things in order starting from season 1. SEASONS 1-3 FINISHED - LONG CHAPTERS -Complete

I always have - Y/n x Steve Harrington
second part of the fanfic It's been a few months since Y/n got introduced to the Upside Down and fought the demodogs. When she thought the rest of the year would be as interesting, it actually ended up being normal. Steve has been ignoring her for whatever reason and she still hanged out with Nancy. The new mall opening at the beginning of summer gave everyone a good distraction, but also created drama. Why is Steve ignoring her? What if Starcourt was hiding something? Y/n will discover many things and meet new people, allowing her to fully discover the truth, but what if it was worse than they all though? New adventures, new Hawkins. !

I didn't want the evil government agents to get her!" *** Alice Henderson has always been told she's got her mind in Wonderland. She longs for an adventure in her life like the Alice she pretends she's named after. When her brother Dustin's friend Will goes missing in November 1983, she gets what she wished for-and it's not quite as dreamy as she hoped. Dustin, Mike, and Lucas are running wild with a quiet girl with superpowers, Alice's best friend goes missing, and strange things happen left and right that have Alice questioning her sanity. Alice will do anything to protect her brother, learn about her past, and stay alive to go to the Snow Ball, even if it means fighting monsters and making allies in unexpected places. *** COVER BY: @dash-of-clarity !

Everyone knew Becca Hopper wanted out of Hawkins. Her social life consisted of a middle schooler she babysat, his friends she occasionally drove around, and that was it. She was simply the chief's daughter no one had ever truly gotten the chance to know. But with gates into other worlds opening and Dustin Henderson dragging her into trouble, she has no choice but to get to know the people she'd spent so long ignoring. And catching Steve Harrington's attention? That didn't matter to her in the slightest. Really. Stranger Things Fanfic Steve Harrington X OC COMPLETED UNTIL SEASON 5
The Edge of Legend
Andrea "Andie" Hopper has always stood out. Moving to Hawkins and growing close to the Byers family changed everything for her, and when little Will Byers goes missing, she is determined to do anything she can to bring him home. Even if that means interacting with prim and proper Nancy Wheeler and working on her relationship with her father, the grumpy Chief of Police. With her friend Eddie not being involved in the terrors that she is soon to discover, she might have to expand her circle to include Will's friends, some weird girl with a buzzcut, and even Steve Harrington...despite him being an idiot. It might even mean she's going to have to adjust to a new normal. And just maybe getting to know Steve Harrington won't be so bad after all. (S1 to S4 of Stranger Things, with my own version of S5, written before S5 came out.) *I do not own the characters or story, I only own what I have added to it. I do not own the cover art.
